Overview
Why teams choose Buon Ma Thuot
Buon Ma Thuot is the retreat nobody expects – and the one teams end up talking about. Sitting on the cool Central Highlands plateau, it trades beaches for coffee plantations, waterfalls, ethnic-minority longhouse villages and the wide expanse of Lak Lake. For a team that has already done the coast, it feels genuinely new.
The setting does real work. Cooler air and open landscapes reset people; coffee, Vietnam’s most famous crop grows here – becomes a natural team ritual from farm to cup; and Lak Lake’s dugout boats turn a scenic lake into a competitive arena.
It’s also where our most complete retreats happen. The XTB program blended three days of team building, CSR with local children, coffee culture and a branded year-end party – the kind of layered, meaningful agenda Buon Ma Thuot is uniquely suited to.
